Technology We Process
Store, office, mobile, and infrastructure assets.
Combine eligible customer-facing and back-office technology in one reviewed inventory.
POS and checkout hardware
Registers, POS computers, displays, receipt printers, cash-drawer controllers, scanners, and eligible peripherals.
Kiosks and tablets
Self-service kiosks, customer-facing tablets, digital ordering devices, and eligible interactive hardware.
Handheld and mobile devices

Network and infrastructure
Switches, routers, wireless access points, firewalls, servers, storage, and eligible edge equipment.
Mixed-condition inventory
Working, worn, damaged, incomplete, and end-of-life assets can be reviewed, though not every item will retain value.
How It Works
Retail ITAD in six stages.
Define the project before equipment moves, then connect each site and asset to a documented outcome.
1. Define the project
Confirm locations, equipment ownership, device categories, refresh schedule, site constraints, and required reporting.
2. Review the inventory
Share models, counts, serials, asset tags, locations, condition notes, and available deployment records.
3. Plan site logistics
Use prepaid shipping, courier collection, freight, or central consolidation based on volume and operating requirements.
4. Record and sanitize
Assets are identified at intake, and eligible data-bearing devices follow NIST-aligned sanitization procedures.
5. Test and reconcile
Reusable equipment is tested and graded, with available identifiers matched to processing and valuation results.
6. Report and settle
Receive itemized project reporting and payment for equipment with confirmed buyback value.
Store-Level Controls
Prepare ownership, data, and access before collection.
Confirm equipment ownership
Separate owned assets from leased terminals, processor-owned equipment, landlord systems, and vendor-managed hardware.
Complete retention decisions
Back up and retain required information before assets are released for sanitization or another final outcome.
Remove management controls
Release MDM enrollment, activation locks, accounts, passwords, encryption keys, and other controls where required.
Document site handoff
Assign contacts, staging areas, access windows, packing instructions, and location identifiers before pickup.
Program Outcomes
Useful records for technology, operations, and finance.
Consolidated reporting
Review site, model, identifier, condition, processing, and valuation details in one final project record.
Mixed-fleet support
Combine POS, mobile, workplace, and eligible infrastructure instead of separating vendors by category.
Repeatable refreshes
Use the same intake and logistics framework for phased rollouts, seasonal changes, remodels, and future refresh cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Retail IT asset disposition questions.
What retail IT equipment can Sphere process?
Eligible projects can include POS terminals, registers, tablets, kiosks, handheld scanners, laptops, desktops, monitors, phones, network hardware, servers, storage, and related store technology. Payment terminals, leased equipment, and specialized hardware should be identified during project review.
Can one program cover many stores and distribution sites?
Yes. Sphere can coordinate prepaid shipments, courier collection, or freight from stores, offices, warehouses, distribution centres, and central staging locations, then consolidate results into one reporting and payment workflow.
How is data on retail devices handled?
Eligible data-bearing devices follow NIST-aligned sanitization procedures. Available serial numbers, asset tags, models, condition results, and processing outcomes can be included in itemized reporting.
Does the program satisfy every payment-card requirement?
No single disposition workflow determines an organization's legal, contractual, or payment-card obligations. The retailer remains responsible for account closure, encryption keys, retention decisions, approvals, leased equipment releases, and applicable requirements.
Can leased or managed store equipment be included?
Only equipment the organization is authorized to release should be included. Confirm ownership, lease returns, processor agreements, MDM enrollment, activation locks, accounts, and management controls before collection.
Do older or damaged retail devices have value?
Some working, worn, damaged, incomplete, or older equipment may retain value. Model, specifications, age, condition, configuration, quantity, and current market demand determine each asset's final outcome.
